The number of asylum seekers being housed in hotels across the UK has dropped to the lowest level for 18 months, new data shows.
At the end of 2025, there were 30,657 people seeking asylum being housed in hotels, down from a peak of 56,018 under the previous Tory government at the end of September 2023, Home Office figures reveal.
However, that is slightly higher than when Labour took office, when there were 29,561 people in government-funded hotel housing.
